16 Chenier Street, Rye VIC 3941

Set on a leafy crest overlooking gardens of natives with winding paths, this appealing three-bedroom beach house just 900 metres to the surf coast promises endless summers on the sundeck and the cosiest of winters by the glowing wood heater. A lifestyle haven designed for effortless relaxation just moments from Rye town centre, golf courses and hot springs, the vast living and dining area boasts high pitched ceilings, honey-coloured timber floors and an open modern kitchen with granite-effect island and stainless-steel appliances. Slide open the glass doors on balmy afternoons to the elevated alfresco deck set among the treetops or meander down the garden path to the lawn clearing that is currently home to a fire-pit where you can roast marshmallows under the stars. Very well appointed for all-season enjoyment, the home features ducted heating and split-systems in every bedroom, including the bright and airy master bedroom, which also flaunts a private ensuite, leaving the second bathroom with separate toilet for the kids or houseguests. Set on a large 864 sqm (approx.) allotment and ready to move straight into, the home also includes a Bosch dishwasher, alarm system, carport, garden shed and loads of under-house storage for surfboards.
